4.    What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellation Policy: We recognize that planned vacations can sometimes encounter circumstances that necessitate cancelling your trip.  It is for this reason that we offer optional Cancellation Insurance equal to 10% of your total rental exclusive of the cleaning fee and security deposit.  The Cancellation insurance fee is due with your booking deposit. This provides you with a 100% Refund should your cancellation occur 48 hours or more before your arrival date.  Should your cancellation occur within 48 hours and up to the time of your reservation time and date, you may rebook at the same rates for like future dates within one-year of your cancellation.   We will waive the $150.00 cancellation fee.

 

 

If you elect not to purchase optional Cancellation Insurance we will offer you a one-time rebooking option. You may cancel your reservation with a 45 day notice by  mail or via email and remit an additional $150.00 which will constitute your rebooking fee. This extends your rebooking option for one-year from the time of your cancellation. At a minimum your rental fee will remain the same, however, a future booking may incur a higher seasonal or holiday rate depending on the days you select.  No Discounts or Coupons will be honored on Re-bookings.

13.   Can I bring ATV's, dune buggies, dirt bikes, rails or wave runners?

The above are not allowed in Las Conchas and the rules for Las Conchas are below.

Important Las Conchas Notice: The Las Conchas Homeowners’ Association Rules and our homeowners prohibit renters from bringing in ATV’s, dune buggies, dirt bikes, rails or wave runners into the Las Conchas community. Violators, who do so, risk impoundment of the vehicle(s) and prosecution by the local police. These vehicles brought in by renters or visitors, with or without Las Conchas stickers, will be refused entry at the Guard Gate. Violators who by-pass the Guard Gate do so at the risk of impoundment of the vehicle(s) and prosecution by the local police. The Association and the city of Puerto Peñasco enacted this ordinance to preserve the desert environment which was rapidly being destroyed by off road vehicles. At no time are any of these vehicles to be ridden on the beach side of Las Conchas (with the exception of the Las Conchas Guards patrolling the area and enforcing the rules).
